Slide the Clarifi lens into place over the built-in lens of your iPhone. Your macro and close-up shots are instantly finer in detail, more accurate in color. With Clarifi's lens, your iPhone can image an entire business card with astounding clarity. Slide the lens aside for normal photography. WIthout Clarifi, iPhone requires about 18 inches to focus properly. Slide Clarifi's lens into place and you can move in to 4 inches for crisp detail and great pictures.

And, of course, Clarifi is also a super-protective case, constructed of durable polycarbonate, with cutaways for access to power switch, headphone jack, volume controls, and dock connector. For use with Apple Universal Dock wells, Clarifi features Griffin's trademark EasyDock™ design: the bottom third of the case slides down and off to fit in standard dock wells.

The lens magnification for close up shots works fairly well for taking a picture of a business card or barcode. It still leaves the outer edge out of focus when trying to fit the image in the full screen on the iPhone. The lens is recessed in the slider, however I managed to scratch it. The case is thin and light which is nice it fits into a nylon case on my belt. It would be nice if the case had a thin rubber cover like some of the other cases out there. It is rather slippery in my hands and will slid on the seat fabric in my truck if I set it down.

This case has something extra to offer and it is the lens that allows your iPhone to take close up images. This feature is particularly useful if you use it in conjunction with Evernote app. The captured text, even small ones, is clear and Evernote will perform OCR on the fly.The case will make your iPhone a bit more bulky and you need to get a non-standard case if you want to carry it on your belt.

Service and delivery comments:

ABT delivers this item using USPS. Its tracking system is not very good. My item actually got lost for a day when the USPS website indicated that it was delivered. Somehow, it turned up in my mailbox a day later. Hopefully, Abt will use a more reliable carrier in the future.
